Visiting Stack Bakery at 11am meant a kaya jam croissant, a ham cheese croissant and an Americano, eaten at a second-floor seat with a floor-to-ceiling window looking onto trees. Late morning is the best time to come, when the bread selection is widest and the café stays quiet. ## Good to know - **Location**: 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 1st–2nd floor - **Hours**: 08:00–21:00 - **Closed**: Every Wednesday - **What I ordered**: Americano, kaya jam croissant, ham cheese croissant - **Seating**: 1st floor bakery display and ordering; 2nd floor seating with floor-to-ceiling tree-view windows *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* ![Stack Bakery storefront near Konkuk University Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-01-blnoq-900.webp) I was looking for somewhere quiet in Konkuk to enjoy bread and coffee, so I went to Stack Bakery. There are so many cafés near Konkuk University Station, but that day I wasn't after somewhere loud and busy — I wanted a place where I could eat good bread and rest for a bit. ![Vertical shot of Stack Bakery's entrance area](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-02-m8tb3-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of Stack Bakery's building exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-03-1yn2y-900.webp) To cut to the chase: the bread was delicious, but what I really loved was the lush green tree view from the second floor. ![Second-floor seat at Stack Bakery with a floor-to-ceiling window and tree view](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-04-1x41i-900.webp) ![Atmosphere of the second-floor seating at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-05-128jj-900.webp) I visited in the morning, and there was such a wide variety of freshly baked bread on display that it was fun just looking around. ## Where is Stack Bakery and what are the hours? 🥐 Stack Bakery, a bakery café in Konkuk, is located at 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on the 1st and 2nd floors. Hours are 08:00–21:00, closed every Wednesday. ![First-floor bakery display case at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-06-1q9xj-900.webp) It's within walking distance of Konkuk University Station. On the first floor you can browse and order from the various bakery items, and the second floor has seating, so it's a nice place to enjoy bread and coffee at your leisure. I visited around 11am, and this timing was really good — there was quite a wide variety of bread out. From croissants to pastries, there were so many tempting options on display that I stood there deliberating for a while. And the moment I opened the door, that rich buttery smell hit me! The whole entrance was filled with that deep, buttery croissant scent — hard to walk past if you love bread. ![Croissants and pastries on display in the morning](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-07-z19h4-900.webp) ![Croissants displayed at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-08-11r38-1200.webp) ## What I ordered at Stack Bakery: kaya jam croissant, ham cheese croissant, Americano 🥐 That day at Stack Bakery I ordered an Americano along with two croissants — kaya jam and ham cheese. - Kaya jam croissant - Ham cheese croissant - Americano I picked an Americano for my coffee, and it paired cleanly with the sweet, buttery croissants. ![Table with an Americano and two croissants](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-09-7uefb-900.webp) ![Vertical shot of an Americano cup and croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-10-1dmln-900.webp) Tasting the flavor of the bread and taking a sip of coffee in between cleared my palate nicely — an Americano really is the easiest, best combination at a bakery café. ![Croissant paired with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-11-alkoi-900.webp) ![A plate of croissants on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-12-57p94-900.webp) ### How the kaya jam croissant tastes 🥐 The kaya jam croissant was one of the menu items I was most looking forward to at Stack Bakery! ![Cross-section of the kaya jam croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-13-nnbn5-900.webp) The outside was crisp with visible layers, the inside soft, and the sweet kaya jam (coconut egg jam) added on top made for a great flavor combination. The distinctly sweet, nutty flavor of kaya jam paired well with the buttery notes, making it feel more like a dessert than a plain croissant. That said, it wasn't overly sweet — it went perfectly with the Americano. If you love flaky pastry with a sweet filling, I'd recommend this one. ![Close-up of the kaya jam croissant](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-14-r6k35-900.webp) ### Ham cheese croissant as a light meal 🥪 The ham cheese croissant had a different charm from the kaya jam one. If sweet bread feels like too much, or you're looking for something to eat in place of a meal, this one suits better (brunch vibes~) Ham and cheese tucked between the nutty, crisp croissant added a savory note, and it paired naturally well with coffee too. ![Ham cheese croissant filled with ham and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-15-1jeck-900.webp) Because the croissant itself has that buttery richness, it felt much more substantial than a plain ham and cheese bread. It was also a good, simple option to have with a cup of coffee in the morning. ![Ham cheese croissant with coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-16-15b4t-900.webp) ## Second-floor window seats with a tree view 🌿 Honestly, the bread wasn't the only thing I loved about Stack Bakery. The second floor! I took a seat upstairs, and the spot with the large floor-to-ceiling window looking out at the trees outside was just lovely. Seeing the green trees through the window made me forget for a moment that I was in busy, crowded Konkuk. Just sitting there sipping coffee and looking outside felt genuinely healing. This spot would especially suit people who'd rather have a quiet conversation or read a book alone instead of sitting in a loud, crowded café. I ended up spending a good while there that day, eating bread and drinking coffee at my leisure, and thought, 'I need to come back here again.' ![Tree view through the second-floor window](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-17-1t5zs-900.webp) ## Best time to visit Stack Bakery and what to order If you're looking for a bakery café in Konkuk, I'd recommend visiting Stack Bakery in the morning. When I went around 11am, there was such a wide variety of bread ready that it was easy to pick what I wanted. As for recommendations: if it's your first visit, try the plain croissant or the kaya croissant first. If you want something to eat as a meal, I'd recommend the ham cheese type. And if you want to enjoy bread with coffee, an Americano goes nicely with anything. ![Various types of pastries at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-18-166x2-900.webp) Stack Bakery in particular has a wide variety of croissants and pastries, so bread lovers will enjoy picking through the options. What I felt on this visit was that Stack Bakery isn't just a bakery for grabbing bread to go — it's more of a space to sit down, eat good bread and coffee, and rest for a while. ![Relaxed view of the second-floor seating at Stack Bakery](https://img.superchart.com/images/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view-19-147q7-900.webp) A place where the buttery scent from the entrance puts you in a good mood, and heading up to the second floor, the view of trees through the window relaxes you all over again. If you're looking for a good café in Konkuk and want not just pretty interiors but also delicious bread and a relaxed atmosphere, this one's worth remembering. Next time I want to go a bit earlier and try some other croissants and pastries one by one. If you want to sit quietly with a good piece of bread and a warm cup of coffee, for me, Stack Bakery is a Konkuk bakery café I'd like to visit again. ## Where it is - Stack Bakery Konkuk University Station Main Branch (스택베이커리 건대입구역 본점) - 5 Ttukseom-ro 31-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st–2nd floor - 서울특별시 광진구 뚝섬로31길 5 1, 2층 - 37.5359739, 127.0674993 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8A%A4%ED%83%9D%EB%B2%A0%EC%9D%B4%EC%BB%A4%EB%A6%AC%20%EA%B1%B4%EB%8C%80%EC%9E%85%EA%B5%AC%EC%97%AD%20%EB%B3%B8%EC%A0%90/@37.5359739,127.0674993,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@euljiro-basement-stool/stack-bakery-konkuk-croissant-tree-view/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
